Rapper Cardi B has filed for divorce from her husband Offset, whom she has been married to for the past three years.
Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, married the Migos singer Offset, real name Kiari Cepheus, in a secret ceremony in September 2017.
The 27-year-old singer made the filing on Tuesday in Atlanta in Georgia – near their marital home.
Cardi B had a daughter with Offset in 2018, called Kulture
Tuesday’s filing states that the divorce is being contested by Offset, 28, with whom the rapper has a daughter Kulture.
Cardi B is asking for “primary physical custody” of their daughter, while asking that Offset contributes to her “support and maintenance”.
It adds that the couple are living in a “bona fide state of separation” and that their marriage is “irretrievably broken”.
There are “no prospects for reconciliation”, according to the filing.
A divorce hearing has been set for 4 November at 10am.
This is not the first time the pair have split up, with Cardi B posting on Instagram in 2018 that they were no longer together. However, they later made up.

Her latest track, featuring Megan Thee Stallion, WAP – which celebrates female sexuality, is currently spending its second week at the top of the UK charts.
Hailed by some as a feminist masterpiece, others have criticised the song and its explicit video – which the rapper has defended, saying “it’s what people want to hear”.
